Starting review. --Truflip99 (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Initial impressions

• Too many images
  • Removed some images, should the external images box be moved to the external links section or kept where it is? 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
    • I think this is fine. You used the correct template. --Truflip99 (talk) 23:27, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• Etymology is too short to warrant its own section. Can be combined with Location sub. Rename sub to "Station details"
  •  Done 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:49, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
    •  Not done -- I prefer you weave that one etymology sentence into the prose; I've went ahead and reorganized the sections. You can honestly get rid of all the sub headings under Station details.
      •  Done
• Design and Artwork subs can be combined as well
  •  Done 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• I don't think that quote is necessary, as it doesn't have a ref.
  •  Removed 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Infobox

• type = [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] station
• platforms = 2 [[side platform]]s
  •  Both done

Lead

• remove refs from lead; move them to body
  •  Done except for the reference for Dover station as it is not included in the body.
• Canberra MRT station (NS12) is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station in Sembawang, Singapore. It is the 12th station eastbound on the North South line and is located along Canberra Link at the junction with Canberra Way. -- copy edited
• With several green features included in the station during construction -- name a few exmaples
  • @Truflip99: it is mentioned further into the article: 'For the construction team's efforts to integrate landscaping and the use of eco-friendly materials, the station was awarded...' 1.02 editor (T/C) 07:51, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Yes I know. But it's worth mentioning to lengthen the lead. --Truflip99 (talk) 03:53, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
      •  Done

Taking it slow on this one as this article actually needs substantial improvement, and I'd rather make those improvements now than fail it. --Truflip99 (talk) 23:27, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

History

• the Draft Master Plan 2013 was officially gazetted to become the Master Plan 2014 in June that year. -- June of that year
  •  Done
• in response to these Master Plans -- lower case master plans
  •  Done
• On 27 April 2015, LTA awarded China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Singapore Branch) Contract 158 for the Design and Construction of Canberra Station at a sum of S$90 million. -- LTA awarded Contract 158 to China State...
  •  Done
• Heavy construction work began on 26 March 2016 -- comma after date
  •  Done
• Between 18 and 20 May 2019, a 72 m (236 ft) long rail crossover track was constructed at the northern end of Canberra station to connect the two tracks. -- use this convert = {{convert|72|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}}
  •  Done
• such as the power outage that occurred on 7 July 2015 -- this would be more appropriate in parentheses I think
  • Having an example between 2 commas is actually correct. Using dashes can also replace the commas if you wish.
• For the construction team's efforts to integrate landscaping and the use of eco-friendly materials, the station was awarded a Platinum certification under the Building and Construction Authority's new Green Mark scheme for transit stations. Canberra station is the first MRT station to attain such a rating. -- I think this is more appropriate in the next section
  •  Done

More later. --Truflip99 (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Station details

• An estimated 17,000 households will benefit from the station. -- government predictions should be taken with a grain of salt; "is expected to benefit"...; also this sentence is better off as the second sentence in the next paragraph
  •  Partly done not moved as per below
• There are new and forthcoming Housing and Development Board (HDB) public housing developments, private condominiums as well as landed properties (Sembawang Springs Estate) near the station. In addition, it serves Yishun Industrial Park A, which houses mainly manufacturing companies along with the Singapore Civil Defence Force 3rd Division Headquarters and the Yishun Fire Station. -- source?
  •  Removed No reliable source for this, so I removed it.
• Canberra Plaza (currently under construction) -- under construciton as of April 2020...
  •  Done
• It will be completed by the end of 2019. -- update?
  • I couldn't find an updated source on this, so i am assuming it is still under construction
• now a subsidiary of Surbana Jurong -- both? if not indicate former or latter
  •  Done
• move ref 27 at end of next comma
  •  Done
• thus the station shapes... -- is shaped
  •  Done
• to allow natural light to enter it. -- omit "it"
  •  Done
• Louvers were used to provide ventilation. -- used --> installed
  •  Done
• The station has five entrances. -- where?
  • It is in the sentences afterwards, edited it to make the connection clearer
• An elevated sheltered footbridge built across Canberra Link -- omit "elevated" as it is understood with footbridge; "across" --> "over"
  •  Done
• The artwork in the station, Symbiosis, was painted by Singaporean artist Tan Zi Xi. It aims to emphasise the symbiotic relationship between flora and fauna. Residents and stakeholders from the nearby Sembawang Group Representation Constituency contributed to the artwork by drawing imaginative plants and animals after a workshop that involved a nature walk. Ms Tan developed their drawings further to suit the lively design of the station. -- this is better off in the previous paragraph; omit "Ms"
  •  Done

More later. --Truflip99 (talk) 03:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Looking good. Just need an update on that mall that was supposed to be completed in 2019. --Truflip99 (talk) 14:44, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
